Abstract
The color words have different cultural connotations because of the influences of the different cultural backgrounds, social customs and religious faith. The pragmatic meanings of the same color words may be similar, different or be made cultural zero in the different languages. So it is necessary to get the identity from the differences when we translate the color words.
